YouTube, the amateur video service is rumoured to be on the verge of streaming full length movies from the likes of MGM. Soon, we could be enjoying James Bond, Legally Blonde and more, for free!

It’s all a bid to earn more in advertising revenue; something the service desperately needs to keep afloat, with such high bandwidth and storage costs.

But will the service be of any value? YouTube is characteristically slow, with small and bad quality streams. How much fun will the videos be in YouTube style?

So I rented the much hyped ‘I am Legend’ Will Smith film from iTunes last weekend. It started off pretty well, with some cool cgi imagery of New York desolate. Then it came to the end. And that was it. He was blown up by a grenade while killing all the mutants and saving that foreign woman and her son. It was a terrible ending in my book; he was the hero! Generally there the ones who survive and live happily ever after. I didn’t think much else about the film, (except what a waste of £3.49 it was), until I saw this video on youtube. It’s the alternate ending featured on the dvd, and in my opinion, much better. See what you think:
